Microsoft’s new Security Store is like an app store for cybersecurity

Microsoft is launching a Security Store that will be full of security software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions and AI agents. It’s part of a broader effort to sell Microsoft’s Sentinel security platform to businesses, complete with Microsoft Security Copilot AI agents that can be built by security teams to help tackle the latest threats.

The Microsoft Security Store is a storefront designed for security professionals to buy and deploy SaaS solutions and AI agents from Microsoft’s ecosystem partners. Darktrace, Illumio, Netskope, Perfomanta, and Tanium are all part of the new store, with solutions covering threat protection, identity and device management, and more.

A lot of the solutions will integrate with Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Entra, Purview, or Security Copilot, making them quick to onboard for businesses that are fully reliant on Microsoft for their security needs. This should cut down on procurement and onboarding times, too.

Alongside the Security Store, Microsoft is also allowing Security Copilot users to build their own AI agents. Microsoft launched some of its own security AI agents earlier this year, and now security teams can use a tool that’s similar to Copilot Studio to build their own. You simply create an AI agent through a set of prompts and then publish them all with no code required. These Security Copilot agents will also be available in the Security Store today.
